Laophis
Laophis is a genus of viperid snake currently containing one known species that lived during the Pliocene in Northern Greece. Few fossil vertebrae of this species was found in Thessaloniki, Greece.
It reached a total length of 3–4 m, making this perhaps the largest viper discovered yet. Originally described by Sir Richard Owen, the original fossils had been lost, until rediscovery of a single vertebra was discovered somewhere near Thessaloniki in 2014.
